Supporting the Armed Forces community in Northamptonshire
We provide vital support for the Armed Forces community
We are here to help members of the Armed Forces community and their families, and we are not going anywhere. Our support starts after one day of service and continues through life, long after service is over.
Who do we help?
Anyone who has served at least one day in the Armed Forces (and their immediate family) are entitled to seek support from the Royal British Legion. You do NOT need to be a member of the Legion.
How does the Royal British Legion help?
The Royal British Legion provides lifelong support to serving and ex-serving personnel and their families. People may face challenges such as employment issues, financial difficulties, housing or homelessness concerns, barriers to living independently, mental and physical health challenges, or a lack of community connection. We are here all year round to ensure that service personnel, veterans and their families have access to any support that they might need.
We provide a wide range of support for the Armed Forces community. Our welfare services offer financial support, legal guidance on appealing decisions, dementia specialist support, and recovery services. We also host online information guides to help the currently serving and ex-service community find the support available.
Whatever issues people face, we can direct you to the most appropriate RBL service, and if there is ever a reason we can't help, our vast network of partner charities and organisations means we will know someone who can.
Our Services for the Armed Forces Community
Our specialist teams are here to support people in the currently serving and ex-service community. We provide a wide range of specialist support programmes, which include offering financial assistance, help accessing specialist equipment and mobility aids, support with debt and financial issues, and care and support for those who are living with long-term conditions or disabilities.
If you are not sure which service you need support from, our advisers can help direct you to the right team.
Our National Call Centre number is 0808 802 8080 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week (all calls are free from a UK landline and most mobile networks) or email [email protected]
